Do you expect a date to check you got home safely?

[NoySaga]

I went on a lovely 2nd date last night with a guy who I really like, we had a great time- lots of laughter, kissing, he even suggested we go somewhere else for a drink after we had finished dinner.
He tried to get me to go back to his place but I declined on this occasion and we have a date arranged for Saturday.
My problem is, it was cold, the roads were icy and dark and I had a 30 minute drive home from the restaurant. There was no text to check I’d got home safely or to say he had a nice time. Is it outdated to expect a guy to text and check you made it home safely? I feel it’s not very gentlemanly of him to have not messaged last night, or am I overreacting on this?

Seems to be you are being overly picky here.

You've been out 3 times - all described as a 'lovely evening' or having had 'a great time' - but you want to start playing games and testing him, rather than arranging to see him again.

As you can tell even from this thread, we all have different levels of contact need, and we all can interpret the same action differently, but surely this is a minor thing you can iron out if the relationship goes somewhere, rather than chucking away the opportunity to have a relationship with someone whose company you seem to enjoy, because he isn't immediately 100% perfect according to your rules.
Which of us are perfect ?
I know I'm not.
It seems so odd to not give someone whose company you enjoy, a chance to relax into a relationship over something so minor, unless you have a list of 100 great guys all waiting to date you and you think there will be someone who is 'perfect' out there?

Oh dear. Is the age of chivalry well and truly dead?!

My father saw my mother home on their first date and then had no money for the bus so walked back 6 miles.
It's called being romantic

I wouldn’t expect them to ask if I got home safe, but I do like when they text to say they’ve had a good night.

But OP was driving.
Completely different from walking home alone.
